This Government saved from destruction by
treason by the patriotism and yalor OF the
Union soldiers, cannot afford in justice or hon.
or to deal less than Justly with them. IL
should cordially and promptly bestow as an
obligation of the Government ana not as a
charity liberal pensions 20 all disabled or de-
pendent soldiers, and To the dependent widows
and parents OF soldiers thus preventing any
suffering and want from coming TO those 10
whom the nation owes a debt IL can never re-
pay.
Iowa has no compromise to hold with the ga.
loon. We declare in favor of the faithful ana
vigorous enforcement in all parts OF the state
of the prohbitory law The pharmacy law ana
county permit law should be so amended as To
prevent the drug store or wholesale liquor Jaw
from becoming in any manner tho SUBSTITUTE of
successor of the saloon.
We express our sympathy with the people
struggling for liberty and home rule, whether
IT be tho Irish people, led by Gladstone ana
Pnrnell seeking To escape from a longtime OPP
preston, or the people of Dakota or other Ter
ritories in this country deprived OF home RUE
by the partisan injustice of the Democratic
party.
We approve OF the State administration OF
public affairs in Iowa, and especially commend
Gov Larrabee for his courageous defense OF the
people from the extortion OF railway monopo-
lies and for his protest In behalf of Iowa against
Cleveland's attempted surrender OF the repei
battle-hags
